Our Mission
The mission of Gay Project is to promote and operate a community development programme from the Gay Project Community Centre which will act as a focus and catalyst for the development of the LGBTI+ community primarily in but not limited to the urban and rural areas of the city and county of Cork and the surrounding areas; with a view to enabling members of the LGBTI+ community to participate fully in Ireland’s social, economic, cultural, political, educational, artistic, and sporting life.
